Balloons, bubbles and bonhomie

Why just balloons, bubbles and bonhomie,

Why not bag fulls of green with envy, broccoli?

Or boots, buckles and belts,

Bracelets, balls and bolts,

Bolts come with nuts

But

Tickle tickle tickle,

Save the balloon from the needle,

The needle has an eye,

But it never demands an eye for an eye,

Quietly it lies with with rolls of threads and buttons happily,

Amidst warm bonhomie.
